I agree it shouldn’t have been a big deal. Sure at the time it felt like perhaps Neal was more deserving of having a popcorn game, but those decisions blow over by the end of the season. Even Johnny and Monahan were scratched a few years ago and people weren’t up in arms about it at the end of the season. If their agents made a stink about it though, it would have been a different story.

By fans ... it comes up a lot here and on twitter about being healthy scratched all season, and Peters didn't like him, etc.
It was two games ...
In total ice time for the season he was sixth for forwards. If you look at January 1st on he was 3rd in total ice time, and 5th in ice time per game.
